what happened is our friend in the white house, george w. bush and his republican deficit hawk friends went into two wars and the great deficit hawks eliot you know what? they forgot to pay for the wars. then they give huge tax breaks to billionaires. and then wall street brought about this recession which significantly lowered the revenue coming into the treasury. you add all of that up, we have a serious deficit crisis. our republican friends are saying well, be that as it may the solution is to cut social security which, by the way had nothing to do with the deficit. medicare medicaid, education infrastructure et cetera and that's how we're going to balance the budget. but, say the republicans we're not going to ask the millionaires and billionaires who are doing phenomenally well whose effective tax rate is the lowest in decades to pay a nickel more in taxes. that, in a condensed way is the issue that we're debating. >> eliot: senator you made the accurate persuasive factual argument. unfortunately none of that matters in washington anym

remember when george w. bush was running for president he talked about a more humble foreign policy. obama promised to close down guantanamo. he extended many of president bush's policies. so it is hard to say at this stage of the game what mitt romney really means and what and how he might act as commander in chief. >> and in afghanistan and syria, dan, pretty general comments by governor romney, not real specific, particularly on syria which is the hottest issue now going. pretty much stayed a step back about saying what he would do. >> syria is a difficult issue. afghanistan the president said he is pulling troops down. it is difficult for romney to say i will push troops back up. >> particularly when the american public seems to be war weary and supports this withdrawal. >> i think matt made an important distinction that needs to be emphasized. this isn't just president obama this is modern democratic foreign policy doctrine calling it leading from behind. which means we only act until we get the support
